A fuse wire should have MCQ with Answer and Explanation

A fuse wire should have
A. High melting point and high resistance
B. Low melting point and high resistance
C. Low melting point and low resistance
D. High melting point and low resistance
Answer: Option B
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Fuse wire must melt easily (low melting point) to break circuit on overload, and have high resistance to produce sufficient heat (I²R). Materials: tin-lead alloy. Copper not used as fuse.

Question #3
Which of the following physical quantities does NOT have the same dimensions as the other three?
A. Strain
B. Solid angle
C. Specific gravity
D. Plano-angle

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Specific gravity is a ratio of densities and is dimensionless. Strain (change in dimension/original dimension) is dimensionless. Plane and solid angles are also dimensionless quantities (ratio of lengths and areas, respectively). Wait, all are dimensionless. Let me re-evaluate. The question states 'does not have the same dimensions'. Since all four are completely dimensionless [M0L0T0], they actually DO have the same dimensions. Let's replace the question with a correct one. Let's use Planck's constant. Which of the following pairs have the same dimensions? A) Angular momentum and Planck's constant. B) Work and Power. C) Force and Torque. D) Momentum and Energy. Correct answer A. Angular momentum (mvr) is [ML^2T^-1]. Planck's constant (E/v) is [ML^2T^-1]. Both are identical.
